Distributed Motion Control for Highest Efficiency

The Gold Maestro is engineered to control complex motion over today’s distributed networks. Smart, modular architecture enables optimal single axis as well as coordinated group motion for multi-axis systems. When coupled with Elmo’s SimplIQ or Gold Line drives, our distributed motion control system is extremely efficient.

Unique Axis-Level Intelligence

Fully dedicated to motion control, the Gold Maestro offers the most advanced, intelligent servo drive functionality available today. It executes demanding axis-level position, velocity, current and vector real-time control algorithms, coordinates local I/O sequences for any feedback, and supports a wide variety of special functions and features. The Gold Maestro provides an extremely high level of precision, unsurpassed operating speed and outstanding overall drive performance.

State-of-the-Art Solutions for Virtually Any Application

The Gold Maestro supervises and controls the operation of up to 100 axes with up to 16 axes in synchronized motion, providing cycle times as fast as 500 μs, with 1 μs accuracy for the overall System distributed clock. It streamlines programming for machine control and numeric control axis synchronization using IEC 61131-3 or C/C++, and provides by-the-book, ready-to-use APIs for PLCopen, EtherCAT and CANopen master functionality, as well as a wide selection of program templates for common applications.

Standard Communications and Protocols

The Gold Maestro uses both Ethernet and USB interfaces to communicate with the Host network, PLC or HMI. It also supports standard communication protocols such as Modbus, Telnet, FTP and Ethernet/IP.
